- Because degenerative changes in the trapeziometacarpal joint are a common cause of pain and weakness of the thumb, particularly in postmenopausal women, we have evaluated the functional and radiological results of arthrodesis in 43 patients. Arthrodesis is a safe and effective way of treating isolated painful arthritis in the trapeziometacarpal joint; solid fusion occurred in 39 cases, and four patients had fibrous union. All but four patients were satisfied with the operation including three of the four patients with fibrous union. Thirty-one of the patients had no functional restrictions (decreased range of movement), 34 were free of pain at rest, and 25 were free of pain all the time.

Bone mineral normative data in Malmö, Sweden : Comparison with reference data and hip fracture incidence in other ethnic groups

- The bone mineral mass was measured in 324 residents of the city of Malmö Sweden, by dual energy roentgen absorptiometry (DEXA) using the Lunar DPX equipment - total body, hip, and lumbar vertebrae. the bone mineral content of the wrist was also measured with single photon absorptiometry (SPA) in 88 of the individuals. Weight, height, and vertebral height, as well as body fat, lean body mass, menarcheal age, menopausal age, and hand grip strength were determined. Measurements were compared with reference bone mineral content values from the United States, Japan, and France - also hip fracture incidence was compared. All bone mineral values decreased with age. A good correlation was found between the DEXA technique of total body bone mineral and the forearm SPA values. the bone mineral content was correlated with lean body mass and weight. the Malmö bone mineral content was on the same level as in the United States, but higher than in Japan and France. the comparatively high risk of fragility fractures in the Scandinavian countries compared with most other settings cannot be explained by low bone mass.

Silicone rubber implants for arthrosis of the scaphotrapezial joint
- 1992
-
Ingår i: Scandinavian Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and Hand Surgery. - : Informa UK Limited. - 1651-2073 .- 0284-4311. ; 26:2, s. 173-176

- Between 1980 and 1983, 10 patients received high performance silicone rubber condylar implants for the treatment of isolated degenerative changes of the scaphotrapezial joint. Early clinical and radiographic results (at a mean of 15 months) were excellent. Late follow up of these 10 together with a further 11 patients, however, showed migration of the implant and radiological signs of silicone particle synovitis in all but two. We no longer recommend this operation for treatment of isolated arthrosis of the scaphotrapezial joint.

The ankle fracture as an index of future fracture risk : A 25-40 year follow-up of 1063 cases
- 1993
-
Ingår i: Acta Orthopaedica. - : Medical Journals Sweden AB. - 1745-3674 .- 0001-6470. ; 64:4, s. 482-484

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In 1992 a retrospective case control study was performed, based on all patients with ankle fractures (n 1063) treated at the Department of Orthopedics in Malmö Sweden, between 1950-1951 and 1961-1965. As all radiographic examinations have been saved in Malmö we were able to study all subsequent fractures that this group had sustained. 260 patients from 1961-1965 who were still living in Malmö today were also compared with an age-and gender-matched control group regarding the location and type of subsequent fractures. the group with former ankle fractures continued to have a two-fold increased incidence of all sorts of fractures. the same result was found when looking at the upper and lower extremities separately. However, the risk of sustaining new fractures in the once-fractured extremity was not increased compared to the uninjured side.
